The Beauty of the Grand

The sound is unmistakable. At the same time both beautifully simple and gorgeously complex, the sound of an acoustic grand piano is immediately recognizable. The new CLP Series Clavinovas elegantly capture the sound of the piano in all of its natural grandeur and beauty. Featuring both improved piano voices and newly revamped built-in speaker systems for authentic reproduction, these new instruments deliver the rich grand piano sound everyone knows and loves. Two different keyboard technologies – Natural Wood (CLP-280) and GH3 (CLP-270/240/230) – give these instruments exceptional playability and expressiveness, while the stylish design and attractive exterior reflect the true sonic beauty within.

A Joy to Play Both in Practice and Performance

The CLP-230 brings stylish looks and professional sound together in an instrument that's highly affordable and exceptionally easy to use. It features Yamaha's famed GH3 (Graded Hammer 3) technology to effectively recreate the feel of an actual grand piano. Combine this with the incredibly realistic piano voices and the spacious sound of the built-in two-way speaker system, and you have an instrument that inspires you with every note you play.

True piano feel

More than any other keyboard, the Clavinova reproduces the experience of playing an actual grand piano. Thanks to the GH3 (Graded Hammer Effect 3) technology, the new keyboard provides the characteristic weight balance between key and hammer, and features weight gradations of the keys – heavy in the lower end, light in the upper keys. With two velocity sensors, it even lets you use techniques previously possible only on a real grand piano, such as playing the same note repeatedly with perfect articulation.

Selection of Voices, Choice of Finishes

Besides new piano samples, you get a choice of other stereo-sampled musical instrument sounds to perform with. And thanks to enlarged memory, these sounds are better than ever, providing added realism for more music playing enjoyment. But Yamaha Clavinovas aren't designed just for sound – they also feature an attractive, elegant finish to complement the room you place it in.

The CLP-230 offers a choice of three finishes, to more closely match your decor.
